Workstream 4: Service redesign in primary care: realist reviews and mixed methods
Over 50 million people in England are cared for by the NHS, and about 90% have their first NHS contact with a GP. However, primary care services, specifically UK general practice, are currently under considerable pressure. The NHS England GP Forward View advocates investing in and developing new models of care, however, these innovations should be underpinned by a robust evidence base. This stream of work will answer key questions to support the redesign of primary care. By systematically identifying and synthesising existing evidence, our work will support improved services for patients, clinicians and policymakers.
